TO-NIGHT'S MEETING.
An Event i'm the Commercial History OF
Salt Lake, Which None Can
Afford to Miss.
Every Business Man in Salt Lake
ShOuld be Present and Take
an Active Part.
The Attempts to Drown With Cold
Water Will be Shown Of
No Avail.

Despite the attempts to throw cold
water upon the establishment of Cham
Der of Commerce and Board of Trade in
this city, there is any amount OF en-
thusiasm shown to-day both in uptown
and in downtown business circles.
The chief movers in the enterprise are
confident that to-night's meeting will be
a signal success, and they are not to be
extinguished by the kick from the
other side. They do not care to
force anyone into joining with them
but they still offer membership to every
one, without regard to politics or religion
and hope that those who feel inclined to
indorse, or who have already Endorsed,
the move will be on hand tonight to
take an active part in organizing this
great work. The names which appeared in
yesterdays DEMOCRAT represented all the
leading business interests of this city and
if all who gave their Endorsement then
will be on hand tonight, nothing more
can be asked.
Remember the time and place, s
o'clock this evening at the Federal Court
Room

OUR BUSINESS HOUSES.
representative Firms Whose New
"Ads'' Appear To-Day.
MADAM pITTTON

MADAM BUTTON.
This lady opened her new millinery par
lors to the public to-day, and has a dis
play as complimentary to her taste and
skill as it is attractive to her many
patrons. The parlors are fitted up neatly
and with a view to the display of the end
less variety of bonnets, hats, ribbons,
laces, flowers, ostrich feathers and tips,
which almost daze the beholder with
their beauty.
The bonnets and hats are dreams of
loneliness, and particularly those Partisan
bonnets. More elegant goods than these
have rarely been brought to this city.
One little bonnet is composed almost
exclusively of flowers. The Madame has
not been able to show the stock vet, but
has enough displayed to occupy the time
of any lady at least an hour in admiring
the new and elegant goods. A visit to
the new millinery house will amply repay
anyone who admires the beautiful in this
art.
THE METROPOLITAN.
Mr.. J. S. Erb has taken this neat and
commodious house under his ample care
and will hereafter, conduct it in connec-
ton with the we'll known Walker House
as a first-class hotel. The whole house is
as comfortable as home and the dining
room is for coziness unsurpassed in this
region. As usual the house will be a
success under its present management,
and all who put up at either the Walker
or Metropolitan, can rely upon the best
of everything in the land, for Mr.. Erb is
second to no one in the Rockies as host.
Areporter visited the Metropolitan this
morning and found that preparations
were being made to receive the excur-
sionists who arrive to-day.
THE Cliff HOUSE.
We call attention to the new advertise
ment in our columns to-day of the Cliff
House. Mr.. Brixen was seen this morn
ing busily engaged preparing for the re-
ception of guests to arrive to-day. This
house is one of the best known in the
West and the Brixen Brothers have an
enviable reputation as hotel men.
There is already indications of a very
heavy overland travel during the coming
season and we feel safe in recommending
those who desire to stop at a newly
furnished, modern, homelike hotel, pre-
sided over by genial gentlemen, to try
the Gift House.
NOBLE, WOOD & CO.
This well known firm who are the only
exclusive matters have a notice of their
removal in to-day's issue. Their new
store is model OF neatness and is ar
ranged so that the best possible display of
their fine stock OF hats can be had.
Their stock consists of the latest STYLES of
Youmans, Knox and Broadway hats in
a variety of shades. And surely those
who can not find a suitable title" in this
house need not look elsewhere.
The new spring stock is coming in large
consignments each day. To those who
wish to visit fine establishment we
recommend Noble, Wood & Co. as the
identical place.

HUMANlTYs CRY.
Mr.. RandalI's Answer to the Wants OF the
People on the Tariff Question.

Most people suppose that Mr.. RAN
dal's Tariff Reform bill would be but
thinly-vailed attempt to satisfy the pop.
uar cry for n reduction of the exorbit-
amt war-taxes with measure providing
for no substantial reduction ut all.
Mr.. Randall, however, has showed
these skeptics that he is in earn
nest in this matter, and intends to do
something toward getting the tariff
down to a REASONABLE figure. With this
end in view, the distinguished Penn
sylvania statesman has given il out that
IN his bill alowering of the duty on iute
butts and goats hair will be provided
for. II Mr.. Randall were not intensely
and sincerely in earnest in this matter
he might have knocked of few cents
from sugar or wool or some of the
other IrilIs OF existence, bur he preferred
in his crusade against The tariff exac-
tons to destroy first the tyranny over
the masses OF the taxes on the necessi-
ties OF life, such as jute butts and goats
hair. Many poor man in this and
other large cities has been deferred
from enjoying the jute butts for which
he has, perhaps unfortunately, cultiva-
ted an uncomfortable appetite, by the
eXorbitant tax on this deicacy, and
Goose Island is overrun with goats who
are compelled to suffer the stings OF the
icy north wind on their unprotected
hanks-unprotected because the owners
OF these intelligent animals are unable
to pay the price for goats hair which
the goats'-hair barons OF the East, with
the assistance OF the tariff, have fixed at
preposterously high figure. Humani-
ty cried for reduction on jute butts
and goats hair, and Randall, of all the
statesmen, was not deaf to the cry
